An encrypted Microsoft Word document can be used to store important information securely, but there is always the danger of forgetting your password and being left without a way to access the file.

Cocosenor Word Password Tuner is a useful application that can help you out in this situation. It is capable of recovering passwords using multiple processing methods, and it supports both DOC and DOCX files.

This application can process Word documents created even with very old versions of the word processor, which is very helpful when trying to recover DOC files that you may have forgotten about.

Also worth noting is the fact that Microsoft Word does not need to be installed on your computer when processing these documents.

There are several attack modes to choose from when attempting to retrieve a password, from the basic brute-force method to a more specialized mask attack that requires at least some information about the passkey to be available.

If you know that the password is made up of common words, you can try relying on a dictionary attack, which involves extracting terms from word list. It is even possible to replace the default dictionary file.

Experts can modify a broad range of parameters to increase the success chances and reduce the duration of the recovery process, but novices should also find the application to be quite accessible.

The program supports Nvidia CUDA and AMD GPU acceleration, and it is also possible to save a project and resume the retrieval process at a later date.

Overall, Cocosenor Word Password Tuner is a great tool for users who find themselves having to extract information from encrypted Word documents whose passwords have been lost. It features a minimalistic UI and provides you with a helpful user manual.
